Borussia Dortmund vs Sevilla: Match Preview | Champions League 2020/21

Dortmund-vs-Sevilla

Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla will battle it out for a place in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League when they meet on Tuesday.

The Signal Iduna Park will host the second leg round of 16 tie between the two teams, with Dortmund holding the advantage over the Spanish side.

The Black and Yellows earned a 3-2 win in Spain back in February but their recent injury crisis and their failure to wrap up the tie means Sevilla still have a chance to qualify at the expense of Dortmund.
